195 Don't carry the black pot
Swapping a luxurious water bag for a scheme that might be able to seize a city, as long as the head is normal, knows how to choose. Chen Xiansong took the water bag, turned it over and looked at it for a while, not to mention that this thing was inlaid with gold and silver, and there were three rubies of the same size and the same appearance embedded in the mouth of the bag, which was extremely precious at a glance.
Chen Xiansong opened the water bag, there was a strong aroma of wine in it, he took a sip, the wine was a little choked, and he couldn't help coughing a few times. Sosi looked at the boy calmly, although he was excited, excited, and excited about the imminent victory of a big victory, but he was still calm. True peace is the ability to suppress feelings that are not suitable for you. No one does not have any feelings, even the Buddha had compassion, which is also an emotion.
People who can control their emotions have always been able to do great things. Chen Xiansong looked at the other party for a while, and then smiled, he admired this kind of person who can control his spirit and feelings, stuffed the mouth of the water bag, he asked Suoxi to sit on the wheel, and then smiled and said his thoughts, the more Suoxi listened, the higher his eyes, and after a few minutes, he rushed forward.
After Suoxi left, Chen Xiansong smiled lightly, he unplugged the water bag again, poured all the wine inside out of the car window, and then blew up the whole sheepskin bag, and then plugged it with a stopper, and hung it around his waist. The three mercenaries in charge of keeping an eye on him didn't react excessively when they saw his behavior, but they were quite sorry for the good wine he poured out.
Leonardo was still on the city walls, and now that the archers had withdrawn, he looked at the silent Sosi army below, his expression became more and more annoyed, and he became more and more uncalm, and he thought of a possibility, Sosi wanted to attack the city. Thinking of this, he was stunned at first. Then there was a rush of anger.
"You and I are here in Ciro City, you can attack if you want, and you can leave if you want?" Leonardo's hands were on the wall, and the back of his hand was bruised.
Silo City is the royal city of a small country a few years ago, the country is very small, so it is often bullied, their royal city, often attacked by the Kingdom of Kate, in a bad mood, go to attack the city. When you are in a good mood, you will also go to attack the city, plunder it on the spot and leave, and do not invade. And so it went on for hundreds of years, and the whole kingdom of Silo. From the king to the poor. I can't stand it all. After the end, it was unconditionally merged into the Tatebana thorn.
"Teacher, please calm down." Casal looked down and said slowly: "They don't have siege equipment, and it's impossible to capture our Log City. ”
Leonardo gritted his teeth and said slowly in a suppressed voice, "I know the truth." But I can't swallow it. He Sosi is just an ordinary soul thinker, why should he attack my city, just because there may be a soul thinker standing behind him? ”
This time, Casal did not persuade again, he knew that his teacher had always been quite good-looking. The people he knew, the people he had previously underestimated by himself, were now blatantly and clearly going to attack his city, which was considered a blatant contempt, and Leonardo felt embarrassed, and then a little angry, which Casal could understand.
It's a pity that Suosi didn't know about Kassar's anger, the two were hundreds of meters apart, so far away, they couldn't even recognize people, let alone their expressions...... Now Suosi was still on the rise, and he personally commanded more than 100 heavy armor soldiers to erect a shield wall on the left side of the mall, and then blocked the previously demolished horse rejection at the exit of the city gate on the other side of the trade road.
After doing this, Suosi had more than 100 people go down the embankment and began to cut down the apricot trees. Among the mercenaries, a large number of people are good at axes, and these giant axes can even be split in half with human armor, and they are used to cut wood, which is naturally a matter of minutes.
Watching a tree of apricots fall by the tree, branches and leaves being cut off, and a tall pile of leaves piled up every few meters on the bank of the river, Leonardo looked at the city wall wonderingly, what they were doing. Don't talk about him, many people on the city wall are puzzled. Unknown things always make people feel scared, and Casal on the side becomes more and more nervous the more he looks at it, and then he has the urge to attack it.
"Teacher, I'm restless, I always feel that something big is going to happen." "We might as well try to go out and attack, it doesn't seem good to let them do things so comfortably," Casal said. ”
"But how can the current state go wrong?" The cavalry on the far hill to the right of Leonardo stood by: "If we dare to go out of the main gate, those cavalry can cut and kill us, it is a strong man slaughtering chickens, and the side door is blocked by a horse, how can you let me get out." ”
"We still have a back gate."
"The back door is so far away from the battlefield, and we don't have cavalry, how can we fight, panting and running over to the door to let people kill." Leonardo frowned, "Kid, you're not a war soul thinker, and neither am I, so don't mess around." I have some judgment, so I don't take it lightly. But if there are ordinary commanders standing in front of you, if they believe your wrong advice, I don't need to say much about the consequences. ”
Casal seemed to have thought of the consequences, sighed, he didn't want to say anything more, so as not to be reprimanded by the teacher, but his heart became more and more uneasy, he couldn't help but say: "Teacher, why don't we leave through the back gate first, you also said that Suosi is very cautious, if he is not sure enough, he will definitely not stay here, maybe we really can't hold it, rather than stay and be humiliated, it is better to ......"
Halfway through his words, he didn't dare to continue, because many soldiers around him were looking at him, and Leonardo was also looking at him, his eyes were already full of red threads. Casal knew that if he said a few more words, he would definitely be punished, and maybe not even his life...... Suddenly, he remembered a proverb in the Kingdom of Aurora: Those who disturb the hearts of the army before the battle should be punished.
"Child, you're tired, go back and rest." Leonardo said slowly.
Casal nodded yes, slowly retreated from the city wall, got into his carriage, and returned home, where his beautiful wife greeted him, gently took off his coat for him, and then served hot fruit wine, which he drank in one gulp, and then sat down on the plush bench: "Angela, I have a bad premonition, now you go upstairs and take Bruce and little Leah to the underground passage, and let Old Fourding go down with you." ”
"Is the situation dangerous now?" Angela sat beside him, a little worried, "We're going to be fine." ”
"I have the identity of a soul contemplative, even if the city is broken, ordinary mercenaries will not dare to do anything to me, but you are different." Kasar took his wife's hand and said slowly, "You are ordinary nobles. It stands to reason that they don't move you much, but ...... I'm afraid that some mercenaries with bloodshot heads can't control themselves, and it's too late if anything happens, so you must go to a safe place first. Come out after the fact. ”
Angela nodded, then went upstairs to find her children. As a young soul thinker, Casal was ambitious and capable, but he felt that he had no luck, and when he saw that his days were about to flourish, the association actually fought among themselves. Regardless of whether the side wins or loses, it is certain that the vitality will be greatly damaged, and when the time comes, the reputation of the association will definitely be greatly damaged, and every soul thinker. To a greater or lesser extent, they will be affected.
This also involves the Sun Temple, which may be a plan developed by the Sun Temple because it feels that the association is developing too quickly. Don't the elders of the high and powerful positions understand? Don't you know the consequences of doing so! Of course they understood, Casal laughed self-deprecatingly, and if he had sat in Riccardo's place, he would have done the same.
Interests and power are always the greatest driving force for human behavior, and the soul ponders as a human being. Nature is not exempt from vulgarity.
His wife was busy preparing supplies for the long-term stay in the secret room, and listening to the sound of her running around on it, Casal was somewhat satisfied. The union between him and Angela is the result of political interests. But he was happy with her. She is not only beautiful, but also very conservative, although there is no love between them, but there is family affection, which is already a good result for the nobles.
His ideal love, the ideal woman, should be like Bai Min, who can work hard with himself and know how to share his worries, but there are few such women, even if they see it, they may not belong to themselves.
"The war soul ponderer behind Suosi is very likely to be Chen Xiansong." Thinking of the cold girl who was too beautiful to speak, and thinking of the things on the city wall again, Casal said to himself quite strangely: "Strange, then, where did Bai Min go, it stands to reason that with her by his side, no one dares to touch him." Could it be that after the Sun Temple supported Riccardo, it let Bai Min leave Chen Xiansong? ”
"Probably not, she doesn't look like that kind of person."
"Are you going to move the rescuers?" Casal suddenly thought of this possibility, and then his eyes lit up: "Chen Xiansong is very smart, he may be trying to find a way to escape by himself, if this is the case, I will find a way to send someone to the side to guard quietly, if there is a chance to help him...... Well, that's it. ”
Casal went up to the study on the third floor, rang the bell, and a housekeeper didn't come in long, he directly ordered: "Order the goshawk and the lone wolf, find a way to sneak out of the Log City, as close to Suosi as possible, if you see Chen Xiansong, that is, a young Aurora boy running away, you can help, if you can't help, forget it, their lives are also very important." ”
The butler stooped and stepped back.
Outside the city walls, on the embankment of the river, Sosi's army had cleared a nearby apricot grove, and they cut the logs into pieces and threw them at the piles of leaves, and more than fifty more than fifty people went around gathering weeds and throwing a plant with small white flowers, with roots and stems, onto the leaf pile.
"What are they doing?" Leonardo's expression was already quite ugly. The unknown will always be unsettling, especially if the other person is likely to threaten you.
But soon, his face became even more ugly, and even a little hideous. On the edge of the river embankment, the mercenaries tied the three of the thickest, roundest, about eight meters long apricot tree with tough vines, and then used thinner branches to pass through the vines horizontally, and about ten people lifted these tied apricots up according to the trunks.
Seeing this scene, Leonardo's face turned green, and the thing made in this way was already a simple siege pestle.
"Damn, it's worthy of being a carpenter, and he knows a lot about crooked things." Leonardo gritted his teeth with hatred: "You can make siege weapons temporarily, but these things will definitely take a long time to storm my city gates, I will put arrows and stones on the city walls, and I will die one by one, Sosi, are you willing to use your soldiers to break my city gates?" Even if you can storm my gates, how many troops do you have left? ”
Thinking of this, Leonardo's heart relaxed a little. What he didn't know was that these simple siege pestles were not ideas that Suo Xi came up with, but Chen Xiansong's idea. Now Suoxi is standing by the river embankment, admiring Chen Xiansong's quick wit.
After a few more moments, Sosi saw that everything had been done as Chen Xiansong had said, and he had several heavy armor soldiers take their shields and escort a longbowman to the bottom of the city wall, and when Leonardo was wondering, the longbowman swooped and shot an arrow book to the city wall.
This kind of practice of exchanging archery books in front of the battle was very popular in the Kingdom of Aurora, and the world regarded it as elegant.
A soldier took down the arrow book and handed it to Leonardo, he swept it a few times, and the fat on his face kept shaking with anger: "Damn Sosi, how dare you insult me like this, you release arrows and shoot those bastards below for me." ”
A rain of arrows was clear, and several shields were like small umbrellas in a rainstorm, although they seemed dangerous, but they stubbornly and slowly retreated, and when they withdrew to a safe place and put down their shields, they found that each of them had been hit by one or two arrows, fortunately, they were all inconsequential parts, and because of the protection of heavy armor, they only suffered some skin trauma that did not even feel pain.
"Sure enough, as His Excellency Chen Xiansong said, Leonardo was furious." Suosi rewarded these bold soldiers, and then said with a smile: "It is really worthy of being a deep thinker of the soul of war, and he does things one by one, and now the enemy's main general has almost lost his mind, and he can start planning." ”
When the herald heard this, he immediately raised the command flag, and the mercenaries who were waiting in front of the pile of leaves immediately began to make a fire, and there were already more than forty piles of such things on the side of the embankment, lined up, and at the same time lit a fire, and in an instant, the smoke billowed from the embankment. At this time, the wind is blowing from the opposite side of the river towards Yuanmu Castle.
Because it was fueled by freshly cut leaves and branches, the fire was not large, but the smoke was very large, and behind them was a large river several meters wide and several meters deep, and if the fire was too big, they immediately poured some water on it. The other most important point is that they throw it into the grass, those herbaceous plants with small white flowers, this thing is everywhere in Kate's kingdom, it can not be eaten, nor can it be used as medicine, but the smoke that comes out after it burns is pungent and spicy, as long as it is smoked a little, people will not be able to open their eyes, and their nostrils and respiratory tract can be prickly and difficult to breathe.
Leonardo stood on the city wall, watching the black smoke drift towards the city wall, his face was completely black, and his anger made his eyes almost burst out: "Sosi, you despicable villain, you shameless person, you have the ability to confront me head-on, what kind of aristocrat are you doing all these tricks......"
The angry voice came from the side of the city wall, Suoxi barely heard it, and then he smiled: "Yes, the soul of war is really shameless to ponder, such a scheme can be imagined, His Excellency Chen Xiansong is really despicable, and he can make people go crazy casually." If I were Leonardo, I'd be crazy too. ”
"But I can't carry the black pot for him, and I don't dare to carry it. Those who ponder the soul of war, once exposed, there are a few more who can die well! Suoxi shook his head: "When you win the battle and enter the city, you have to publicize Your Excellency Chen's plan well, I don't want to be assassinated one after another for no reason." (To be continued......)
